Neomeris annulata (turtle-weed)

It's fairly harmless as far as macro-algaes go. It typically goes away on it's own.

 

Cool! So this stuff is okay to let grow? Thank you for you response.

 

I cannot give you a 100% response that it is OK to let it grow because I do know of 1 case where it became a pest algae as bad as filamentous algae. However, usually it just dies off. If you stay in control of nutrients, it typically just starves.
